Triple Glazing (Encapsulation) of Stained & Leaded Glass

Triple Glazing

Triple glazing follows the same principle as double glazing but allows for your stained glass window to be protected within a double glazed unit thus making it triple glazing.

To achieve triple glazing with stained and leaded glass, a stained glass panel is encapsulated inside a double glazed unit. The existing stained and leaded glass is removed from the existing window frame of your house, the old edge lead of the panel is removed and the panel is then re-sized. At the same time any cracked or broken pieces of glass are removed, replaced or repaired. After these preliminary steps are completed, a new specially profiled edge lead can be added.

Before encapsulating the window panel inside a double glazed unit, the stained glass is cleaned and the leads are polished. By encasing the stained glass window panel between two layers of toughened glass, a formidable barrier of triple glazing is created. This also helps the window panel retain heat effectively and efficiently while also resisting condensation. We use a thermally efficient glass as the inner leaf to further increase the amenity and heat retention properties of your home.
